Our vineyards
Where are we?
In the interior drylands of the Itata Valley, between the Coastal Range and the Andes Range.” Specifically, the vineyard is located in the El Barco area, Ránquil commune, Ñuble Region, Chile. This, about 450 km south of the city of Santiago. We are about 35 minutes from the city of Chillán and 60 minutes from Concepción, on the Itata highway (route 0 66 N).
WEATHER:
This valley has a humid Mediterranean climate with lower temperatures compared to other valleys. It experiences well-defined seasons and receives abundant sunlight and oceanic influence from the nearby Pacific Ocean.
SOILS:
The soils are granite-based and have basaltic sands, where clay, sand, volcanic stones, and quartz underlie the development of gentle slopes without “added” irrigation (dry farming”secano”).
¿What is TERROIR?
It is a term that includes factors such as grape varieties, climate, soil, and the human factor. This is where the cultural heritage inherited from our ancestors comes in and how we work the land and the methods we use to make our wines.

“We are concerned throughout the year about respecting the vegetative cycle of the vine. Only from a healthy grape can a good wine be made.”
